Abdullatif

AbdulLatif is a male given name of Arabic origin, often transliterated as Abdul Latif, Abdul-Latif, Abd al-Latif, or AbdulLatif. It combines the element Abd ("servant") with al-Latif ("the Gentle" or "the Subtle"), one of the 99 names of God in Islam. The full meaning is therefore "servant of the Gentle" or "servant of the Subtle One."

The name is widely used across Arabic-speaking countries and among Muslim communities in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the diaspora. In Arabic, the standard form is Abd al-Latif; in other languages it may be adapted as Abdul Latif, Abdul-Latif, Abdullatif, or similar spellings. It is typically given as a first name, but may appear in longer names or, less commonly, as a surname in some cultures.

Cultural and religious significance: Names formed with Abd and one of the divine attributes reflect a common Islamic naming pattern that expresses devotion or aspiration. Variants of the name appear in historical and contemporary contexts, including education, government, and religious life, across multiple countries and languages.

Notable people with this name exist across regions and fields, including politicians, scholars, and public figures in various Muslim-majority societies. Because of its broad usage, no single figure defines the name, and variants are common in everyday use.
